“Patty has been great with my dog Nova! My dog is a nervous girl around new people. Patty took the time to allow nova to slowly warm up to her on their initial visit, and even offered to come over later that night while I was home so she would be in a more comfortable environment if needed. Nova now loves seeing Patty and I’m overall very happy with the service!”

“After our longtime dog walker notified us that they were moving, my husband and I scrambled to find someone trustworthy and reliable to help walk our dog. We were apprehensive initially because she does have a physical disability, but decided to reach out to Aileen after hearing positive review from another neighbor. Aileen has been wonderful with our pup! She is kind, communicative, and gives great updates of our pup and we will continue to use her services.”

About: Proud pet parent to Chloe, my sweet Maltese Poodle who loves having furry friends over for sleepovers! 🐾 When your pet stays with us, they’ll be temporarily adopted into our family and treated with the same love, care, and attention we give our own. I work short 4–5 hour shifts with a flexible schedule and the option to work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive. I’m also available to provide drop-in visits as needed to accommodate your pet’s routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work just 4–5 hours a day in the office with the flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to plan my schedule around the pets in my care When caring for dogs and cats in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment tailored to their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard with a grassy area and plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy a nice run. All outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety while allowing them to burn off energy and have fun. For cats, I create a calm indoor environment with cozy resting areas, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to make both dogs and cats feel secure, relaxed, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾

About: I have experience with training dogs and handling their medications. I have taken care of other clients pets over long periods of time. And I am patient when it comes to handling pets of all sorts. I currently am full-time student with no job. With this I intend to have more control over my schedule and have more flexibility when it comes to pet care and being able to still fit in school time. I like to respect people's and their pet's boundaries so being handed a list of rules or guidelines is the best way for me to do that.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and daily routines. Whether it’s energetic puppies, playful cats, or senior pets who need extra care and attention, I’m committed to providing the same care and affection I would give my own pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during mornings, weekends, and other available times throughout the week. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and can dedicate quality attention to making sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress, so I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands and potty routines, and I’m also comfortable administering medications or providing gentle care to older pets with mobility issues. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment whether I’m walking, feeding, or simply spending time with them. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they feel reassured while away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make time for it every day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, depending on what’s needed. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize the pet’s needs. Taking care of animals is not just a task for me—it’s something I look forward to and naturally fits into my everyday life. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure—no small objects or hazards around, doors and gates are checked, and routines are followed to reduce stress. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, medical needs, and personality so I can provide personalized care and maintain consistency. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions closely—feeding times, walk routines, or any specific care preferences. I also keep them updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes to build trust and give them peace of mind. In my own home, I only take in pets I know I can safely accommodate, and I gradually introduce them to the space to make sure they feel comfortable. Whether I’m in their space or mine, I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and full attention.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, including my own and others! I currently have no pets, so I have the time and space to care for yours :) I mostly have experience with dogs, young/old/big/small, but I am open to sitting for other pets as well. Although I don’t have formal training experience, I do enjoy taking time to teach dogs tricks/commands you maybe working on. Majority of my camera roll is my family dog and dogs I see out and about, so you will receive plenty of pics of your happy pet :) I work 3 days a week, so I plan on doing this on my days off when I have the whole day available for your pet! I do not have a set schedule, but I will be sure to update ASAP. I do live in an apartment complex that includes an outdoor dog area that is available for playtime or potty breaks. I also love taking dogs for walks at the beach, parks, or trails!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. I grew up around them because my dad is a dog trainer and owns a dog hotel in Mexico, and I’ve always helped him. I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive to each dog’s needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time as a nanny, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets throughout the week. I have plenty of time to walk, play with, and look after your pets. I’m available on weekdays after my nanny shifts and on weekends for boarding or drop-ins. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure each dog or cat feels calm and cared for. I pay close attention to their routine, behavior, and needs, and I keep the environment clean and safe. I create a peaceful space where your pets can relax and feel secure.

About: hi all ! :) due to my job, I am not able to have a pet, so I feel very sad without her. I used to use Rover as a way for my dog to have a friend over, but now it’s mostly for my sake of missing having pets around. After all, dogs are everyone’s best friend and makes the world go round! Or at least for me. Anyway, because I miss my dog, I am quite sad of not being able to take her to the beach, on hikes or even as simple as car rides or even cute little couch cuddle sessions. So if your dog came over, I would guarantee to help your dog feel safe, welcome, spoiled, and have lots of fun :) When I did have a doggy, I would feed her twice or three times a day, depending on exercise. Walk them 2 or 3 times a day. Take them to dog parks, the beach, hiking etc. Also administer ointments for seasonal allergies. There are a few parks around I can take them to. We take them hiking or to the beach. My dogs also used to have a bed of her own that they sleep at night with a comforter (literally).

Aileen came through for us again! We asked her to come an hour early since Kingsley was upset being closed in, and then asked her to come back later that day when plans changed, and she made it work both times. Kingsley still barks at first, but he's warming up to her faster each visit thanks to her patience (and lots of treats). We're so grateful to have someone so flexible and caring with our boys while we're away!🐶🐺🤎

My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gardena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gardena is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 20,692 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gardena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gardena. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Gardena after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gardena. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
